IBI signs MoU with Sindh for digital services, green data centres

Mettis Global reported that Beijing United Information Technology (IBI) and the Sindh government have agreed to explore joint projects involving secure-city systems, low-emission computing facilities and online services. Their memorandum was signed on October 15 during a Sindh investment gathering in Shanghai, with IBI executive Liu Junzhai and Sindh Investment Secretary Raja Khurram Shahzad Umar signing for the two sides.

The proposed work also covers bringing digital tools to businesses, factories, industrial zones and ports in Sindh. IBI intends to involve its suppliers and commercial partners, while a provincial mechanism is to identify suitable projects and local needs, according to the report. The initiative extends the company’s cooperation in Pakistan to the provincial level and is associated with the second stage of CPEC, focused on industry and agriculture. Sindh said the Shanghai event produced 34 memorandums and other agreements, alongside efforts to attract investment in energy, manufacturing, agriculture and emerging technologies.
